Kent State University at Stark will kick off its first theatrical event of the 2015-16 season with Almost, Maine by John Cariani on Nov. 13, 14, 20 and 21 at 8 p.m. and on Nov. 15 and 22 at 2:30 p.m. in the Kent State Stark Theatre at 6000 Frank Avenue NW in Jackson Township.

On a cold winter’s evening, under the magnetic magic of the northern lights, several couples in the sleepy, mythical town of Almost, Maine experience love’s joys and perils through a series of romantic, whimsical, unpredictable and often hilarious vignettes. Hearts are embraced, bruised, broken and mended – almost – leaving the people of this remote town forever changed.

Ticket prices are $10 for adults, and $7 for non-Kent State students, children under 17 and senior citizens. All Kent State students are admitted free of charge with current student ID. Tickets may be obtained beginning today, Nov. 2. Reserve tickets online at www.kent.edu/stark/theatre or call the Kent State Stark Theatre Box Office at 330-244-3348, Monday through Friday from 1 to 5 p.m.

Directing Almost, Maine is Brian Newberg, Kent State Stark assistant professor of theatre and theatre director. Louis Williams is the scenic and lighting designer, Stephen Ostertag is the costume designer and Ron Jarvis is the sound designer.
